Career
According to the Daily Beast, Sicknick was also a former Air National Guardsman who served in Operation Desert Shield and Operation Enduring Freedom. Sicknick was from New Jersey and lived in Springfield, Virginia.
He became a police officer after leaving the military.
Sicknick wrote a dozen letters to the editor of the Central New Jersey Home News between 1998 and 2005. In 2000 he wrote, “With the military drastically downsizing, the National Guard and Reserves are called upon more than ever. I understand this may cause a hardship on the employers,” he wrote. “There still are some employers in New Jersey that give guardsmen and reservists a hard time when they have to serve.”

Questions were raised after the mob got into the Capitol as to why Capitol Police were not better prepared and even milled around inside while rioters were occupying offices and running around the Senate floor.
The chief, Steven Sund, announced he would resign after the union head criticized police response, saying officers were “frustrated and demoralized” by it, according to NBC News.
Capitol Attack Victims
According to The Hill, more than 50 officers were injured during the Capitol riots and 15 were hospitalized.
